Eight patients with proved diagnoses of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, some with chronic sinusitis, pleural effusion, tuberculosis, and other pathologic conditions, were serially examined. Four had yellow discoloration of the distal portions of the nails. Nails of some patients showed ridging, loss or decrease in size of lunulae, and opaqueness. These findings indicate the presence of the yellow nail syndrome, a relatively rare condition, in 50% of these examined patients.
8名已确诊为获得性免疫缺陷综合征和卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎的患者，其中一些还伴有慢性鼻窦炎、胸腔积液、肺结核和其他病理状况，接受了系列检查。4名患者指甲远端发黄。部分患者的指甲出现嵴状、甲半月大小减小或消失以及不透明。这些发现表明，在这些接受检查的患者中，50%存在黄甲综合征，这是一种相对罕见的病症。
